A truck is leaking vehicle gas at Arlanda and travelers in parts of Terminal 5 must evacuate, as SVT News first reported. 

– We are measuring the area and approximately 100 meters around the truck is cordoned off, says Ulf Tholén, command operator at the rescue service. 

What caused the leak and how much is leaking is currently unclear. 

There is no forecast for when the blockades can be lifted.

– We don't really know how big the leak is yet, says Ulf Tholén.

According to Swedavia's website, several flights from the terminal are delayed. However, Swedavia has not stated whether the delays are due to the gas leak.
